Seven Weeks: Oct. 7th/25, Tuesday Nights
This is more than a parenting course — it’s an eye-opening journey into the hidden dynamics that shape your family. We’ll explore not only communication, boundaries, and conflict resolution, but also the invisible patterns that quietly pass from one generation to the next. These early experiences, often unnoticed at the time, can echo through a lifetime. In this course, you’ll learn how to recognize and shift these patterns, so you can give your children the emotional foundation they truly need. Why take this course? By understanding the connection between your own upbringing and your current parenting, you can break cycles that no longer serve your family and pass down healthier patterns for generations to come.
